Lawrence Brownlee sings Tonio in Seattle Opera’s “La fille du régiment.” In his second-act aria, “Pour me rapprocher de Marie,” he pleads his case to the haughty Marquise: for Marie’s sake he has sacrificed friends, family, and country, only to be denied his love because of social class. Yves Abel conducts the orchestra of Seattle Opera.
